It’d be a tough pub quiz question but it’s a worthy pastime for a long road trip, however AI @grok is incredibly bad at answering this one, despite me asking previously and coaching it to the correct answer.

Someone suggested exploring the relationship between ED crowding and four-hour compliance but splitting the patients into (red) admitted patients and (blue) non-admitted patients as if they were two completely separate queues that didn't interact with each other. #rstats #ggplot2

Look what can happen (in the blue shaded area on the right hand side of the chart) when a health and care system engages with patient flow...

Another attempt to visualize the difference that ED crowding makes to four-hour compliance. I've 'smoothed out' the distributions (so that they're both 'perfect' Normal curves) to try to make the point clearer. The means and standard deviations are real, though. #rstats #ggplot2

I've just realised that what I'm droning on about here (in relation to maps) is what @brucejgray was pointing me to (much more concisely!) last month! x.com/brucejgray/sta…

Here's @mrianleslie again. This time on "cognitive avoidance”: the habit of inhibiting the processing of threatening information by directing attention to something safer. Instead of confronting what daunts us we turn towards the problems we know how to handle.…
